Roger Schank argues that class size, lack of parental involvement, and other commonly-cited factors have nothing to do with
why students are not learning. The culprit is a system of subject-based instruction and the solution is cognitive-based learning.
This book defines what it would mean to teach thinking

The majority of today's corporate training programmes are weak, inefficient, costly and hated by the employees they are supposed
to train. Worst of all, they are boring. This is the opinion of author, guru, and leading visionary educator, Roger Schank,
argues that his "learning by doing" approach to e-learning course design offers a dramatic alternative to traditional training
- and traditional e-learning. Schank's approach to e-learning is based on stories and entertaining case histories told by
subject matter experts - in a way that lets students practice, and fail, over and over again in a risk-free computer environment

"Roger Schank's influential book Dynamic Memory described how computers could learn based upon what was known about how people
learn. Since that book's publication in 1983, Dr. Schank has turned his focus from artificial intelligence to human intelligence.
Dynamic Memory Revisited contains the theory of learning presented in the original book, extended to provide principles for
teaching and learning. It includes Dr. Schank's important theory of case-based reasoning and assesses the role of stories
in human memory. In addition, it covers his ideas on nonconscious learning, indexing, and the cognitive structures that underlie
learning by doing." "Dynamic Memory Revisited is for all who are concerned with education and school reform. It draws attention
to how effective learning takes place, and it provides ideas for developing software that truly helps students learn."--Jacket

Introducing issues in dynamic memory and case-based reasoning, this comprehensive volume presents extended descriptions of
four major programming efforts conducted at Yale during the past several years. Each descriptive chapter is followed by a
companion chapter containing the micro program version of the information. The authors emphasize that the only true way to
learn and understand any AI program is to program it yourself. To this end, the book develops a deeper and richer understanding
of the content through LISP programming instructions that allow the running, modification, and extension of the micro programs
developed by the authors

It is not unusual for a festschrift to include offerings from several areas of study, but it is highly unusual for those areas
to cross disciplinary lines. This book, in doing just that, is a testimony to Bob Abelson's impact on the disciplines of social
psychology, artificial intelligence and cognitive science, and the applied areas of political psychology and decision-making.
The contributors demonstrate that their association with Abelson, whether as students or colleagues, has resulted in an impressive
intellectual cross-fertilization

"This 19th-century conception of the educated mind weighs heavily on our notions of how we educate our young. When the focus
of education is on intellectual and scholarly issues, as opposed to issues such as communications, basic psychology, or child
raising, we are continuing to rely on outdated notions of the educated mind that come from an elitist view of who is to be
educated and what that means. To accommodate the realities of today's world it is necessary to change this elitist view. We
need to rethink what it means to be educated, to reconceptualize the very idea of education as a process that forefronts and
values learning by doing. Students need to learn how to think and to learn by doing - not how to accomplish tasks such as
passing standardized tests and reciting rote facts." "In this book, Roger Schank sets forth the premises of his argument,
cites its foundations in the Great Books themselves, and illustrates it with examples from an experimental curriculum that
has been used with K-12 students." "Making Minds Less Well Educated Than Our Own is essential reading for scholars and students
in the learning sciences, instructional design, curriculum theory and planning, educational policy, school reform, philosophy
of education and higher education, and anyone interested in what it means to be educated in today's world."--Jacket
